Yogi and Boo Boo usually snooze right through Christmas. (Hibernation, you know.) But this year, happy holiday music rouses them from their sleep and right into the fun: skating, skiing, singing and trimming the tree. But life isn't all mistletoe and eggnog. Two holiday grouches - a mysterious hermit and the obnoxious nephew of Jellystone Lodge's owner - are determined to ruin Christmas. And our two heroes, joined by Snagglepuss, Augie Doggie, Doggie Daddy, Huckleberry Hound and more Hanna-Barbera favorites, are just as determined to make December 25 the jolliest day of the year!
Several weeks ago we
had the heads-up , relayed from our chums over at GoldenAgeCartoons.com, that
Yogi's First Christmas - the 1980 holiday special which reunited the voice cast of the original '60s classic animated series
The Yogi Bear Show (Daws Butler, Don Messick, Janet Waldo, etc.) - would come to DVD starting today,
November 17th. And this title is indeed
available to purchase right away, but not from any store: it's only available online from the Warner Archive program at the WBShop.com website.
The cost is $19.95 normally, but as it so happens it is on sale right now! The Warner Archive program has put all items categorized as '80s or '90s titles on sale for 25% off, so the current cost of this 1980 production is $14.95, if you act now (we're not certain when this sale ends, so don't delay!
[UPDATE: the sale ends Nov. 30, 2009]). This, like all Archive releases, is a Manufacture-on-Demand item, so it can take up to 7 days to ship once the order is placed. Like most MOD offerings, from any studio, for legal reasons this may only be sent to destinations in the USA. An
online clip is available to watch, and here's a high-resolution look at the front cover art:
